ELECTRICAL-CONDUIT BOX.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 609,356, dated August16, 1898.

Application filed May 6, 1898. Serial No. 679,925. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HUBERT KRANTZ, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, and a resident of New York, (Brooklyn,) county of Kings, Stateof New York, have invented Improvements in Electrical-Conduit Boxes, ofwhich the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to construct a simple and inexpensivejunction or outlet box for electrical conduits, more particularly forinterior wiring, the construction of the box being such as to facilitatethe connection of the conduit-pipes thereto.

The View in the accompanying drawing illustrates in perspective the twoparts of my conduit-box detached from each other.

The box is made in two parts, or, as it is commonly termed, it is of thesplit? type. In the drawing it is shown as rectangular, although thislatter is not essential. It may be of cast or sheet iron or steel orother suitable material.

The lower part of the box, comprises a bot-' top plate B there areformed a series of projections P, with semicircular grooved rims Rcorresponding with the rims R on the lower half of the box, so that whenthe two parts of the box are fitted together the semicircular rims R andR will produce circular rimmed openings in the sides of the box for 0the reception of the ends of the electrical conduit parts.

In the drawing I have'shown three of the sides of the box as providedwith one such rimmed opening each, while thefourth side is provided withthree such rimmed openings. Such of these openings asare not needed forthe reception of the ends of conduit-pipes are to be closed by circulardisks D, fitted in the grooves r of the two parts which hold the 1. Asplit conduit-box provided with corresponding semicircular rims on thetwo parts of the box to form the outlet-openings for the conduits, incombination with closing-disks held in place by the two parts of the boxwhen fitted together, substantially as described.

2. split conduit-box having corresponding grooved semicircular rims onthe two parts of the box to form outlet-openings in combination withdisks adapted to fit in the grooves and to be held in place to close theopeningswhen the two parts of the box are fitted together.

Intestimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

HUBERT KRANTZ.
